  • Obituary Peter Payne 2017
    Professor Peter Payne It is with great sadness that Council reports the death of our distinguished and long serving President, Professor Peter Payne. Peter died on 10 January 2017, aged 87 years. A well attended service of committal was held at Aberdeen Crematorium on 20 th January, allowing many friends and colleagues to offer their condolences to Enid and their son and daughter, Simon and Samantha. They each contributed moving and frequently amusing recollections of their father, sympathetically read by the minister, Deaconess Marion Stewart. Peter was a Londoner whose academic path took him to Nottingham University where, in 1951, he graduated in the new and minority discipline of Economic History. His mentor was Professor David Chambers, who then set Peter on his research for his PhD, gained in 1954, and later published in 1961 as Rubber and Railways in the Nineteenth Century; A Study of the Spencer Papers, 1853 – 1891 . He had begun as he was to continue in his career, his scholarship founded on expert analysis of business records, and demonstrating their significance in understanding wider issues of economic and social development. His successful PhD launched him into two years of research at Johns Hopkins, this producing in 1956 a fine detailed study of The Savings Bank of Baltimore, 1818 – 1866 co-authored with Lance Davis. This was a spectacular start to an academic career in the new and relatively small discipline of Economic History, but building it had to wait, as National Service drew Peter into two years in the Royal Army Educational Corps. There he had the unusual experience of serving for a time on the staff of a military detention barracks.

    Memory for emotional faces in major depression 1 Running title: MEMORY FOR EMOTIONAL FACES IN MAJOR DEPRESSION Word Count: 4251 (excluding the abstract, references and tables) Memory for emotional faces in major depression following judgement of physical facial characteristics at encoding Nathan Ridout Aston University, Birmingham, UK Barbara Dritschel University of St Andrews, UK Keith Matthews and Maureen McVicar University of Dundee, UK Ian C. Reid University of Aberdeen, UK Ronan E. O’ Carroll University of Stirling, UK Address for correspondence: Dr Nathan Ridout Clinical and Cognitive Neurosciences Research Group School of Life and Health Sciences Aston University Birmingham, B7 4ET Tel: (+44 121) 2044162 Fax: (+44 121) 2044090 Email: [email protected] Memory for emotional faces in major depression 2 Abstract The aim of the present study was to establish if patients with major depression (MD) exhibit a memory bias for sad faces, relative to happy and neutral, when the affective element of the faces is not explicitly processed at encoding. To this end, 16 psychiatric outpatients with MD and 18 healthy, never-depressed controls (HC) were presented with a series of emotional faces and were required to identify the gender of the individuals featured in the photographs. Participants were subsequently given a recognition memory test for these faces. At encoding, patients with MD exhibited a non-significant tendency towards slower gender identification (GI) times, relative to HC, for happy faces. However, the GI times of the two groups did not differ for sad or neutral faces. At memory testing, patients with MD did not exhibit the expected memory bias for sad faces.

  • MRC-NIHR TMRP Trial Conduct Working Group Remit Co-Leads: Kerry Hood (Cardiff University) and Katie Gillies (University of Aberdeen)
    MRC-NIHR TMRP Trial Conduct Working Group Remit Co-leads: Kerry Hood (Cardiff University) and Katie Gillies (University of Aberdeen). Objectives The overall aim of the Trial Conduct Working Group is to facilitate networking and collaborative research across the trials methodology community. The working group will aim to provide a forum to facilitate the development of improvements across key aspects of trial conduct and will seek to minimise duplication of effort within relevant areas. Trial Conduct is considered to cover what happens from study set-up to reporting of results. Although this can be influenced by trial design, it is not about design per se, but will consider the broader perspectives and influences (e.g. social and ethical) on trial conduct. Specific objectives of the group will be to: encourage and promote maximising value of funded studies through the use of SWATs; generate evidence to support decisions about future trial conduct; develop approaches to get evidence into practice in trial conduct; build capacity in methods research within the area of trial conduct. The new TMRP Trial Conduct Working Group, formed from and extending the previous MRC HTMR Trial Conduct and Recruitment Working Groups, will focus activities across areas which already have significant energy and traction behind them. Research areas to target: Recruitment to trials (Informed by the PRioRiTY I research agenda) Retention to trials (Informed by the PRioRiTY II research agenda) Qualitative research within trial conduct (e.g. generation of good working practice documents, costing models, connectivity and learning across existing data sets, capacity building, etc) Site selection and training (e.g.
